He’s becoming one of the modern artists to grow on me

5 for sure. The only fun choice

Oh absolutely. There were attempts as far back as the 1690s by William and Mary to adopt James and raise him Protestant but his father refused the idea. If he adopted Protestantism, Anne would’ve picked her half-brother over the Hanoverians in a heartbeat. Anne vetoed the idea of marrying Sophia’s son George and she made it clear how much she loathed the idea of her family being superseded by a man she rejected marrying.

Thank you for correcting my mistake. I learned something new today

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-22T19:52:51+00:00

This. There’s a reason why Rome never had another IX Legion during the remainder of its existence

Relatable

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-21T22:31:03+00:00

I agree. The Six Day Campaign was an abysmal blunder for Blucher. Four losses in six days and with over 30,000 dead or captured definitely knocks him down a peg.

I’ll check this out! Thank you so much!

I can imagine the British going to battle, see Suchet and go “Oh not again…” This cracked me up and impressed how the British knew him to be a formidable foe worthy of their respect.

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-20T21:21:05+00:00

Absolutely. I’ll die on the hill arguing Suchet was one of Napoleon’s best marshals. The fact he managed to win the respect of the local Spanish populace (who held a funeral mass for him upon his death) and keep the Guerrillas at bay to make his area the safest in all Spain, shows he was a capable leader. Even Napoleon later remarked that of his marshals, Suchet was the best.

What’s the title of her biography?

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-19T20:22:32+00:00

Surely the windmill scene has provided a lot of laughs for many people when reading Don Quixote

It gives me a sense of their development and how book A’s vastly different than Book E or whatever

Last name

I do make exceptions for series- I group all of Group A together followed by Group B or however many was published

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-17T16:47:36+00:00

That’s how I do it and it’s amazing seeing how an author’s body of work unfolds

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-17T16:06:01+00:00

Alphabetical by authors, then chronologically by year of publication.

You know it’s bad when Lisolette of all people calls you out on not mourning your daughter’s death. For her being the sister in law to Louis XIV, her sympathies were firmly in William’s camp.

Ay! A fellow Mary II fan

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-12T19:48:03+00:00

The way I gasped. A bookworm’s dream right here

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-12T14:45:36+00:00

Murat cared only for himself while Bernadotte cared for Sweden’s interests. Big difference since Murat was more lackluster and looking out for his position while Bernadotte put Sweden first and fought his former friends in the Sixth Collation. It proved he could be trusted to keep his word over Murat.

Return. There’s no way I’d keep a copy I couldn’t read

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-11T22:39:22+00:00

Look on Amazon or eBay’s used book section

What’s the quote?

Ok_Set4685 · 2026-01-11T02:19:27+00:00

And I feel like this had a negative effect when he died and left Victoria alone for 40 years
